All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
they are precious in his sight.
Jesus love the little childre of the world.
Now everybody sing!
Seems a bit sinister, now...
I thought that was Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus...
Mod
Yeah, that would be creepy.
Mod
Oh, most excellent! This one is my favorite:http://www.art4god.com/html/?go=produ...
But this one's good, too...

Donna, perhaps you already learned how to use a broadsword, but the dementia stole it away from you. Which is a shame really.

as for the other one... my cat can paint better than that. Do devotion to God and bad taste *have* to go hand in hand?
I'd like to imagine that he's really singing an Air Supply song...
Well, aside from the broadswords and tax evaders...I could philosophize something about maybe those who create this kind of stuff really have to look beyond (or even deny) the irony of it all in order to have the kind of faith they do.....
But then I see Jesus in a tuxedo. It's midnight and I'm seeing a picture of Jesus in a tux.
That one does me in.
And now I've got that damn song in my head.

It was always there, so I didn't even see it really, but now that I think of it, I'm sure it put off my dates.

And it was enormous, like 3 feet tall! But it's interesting that he's clearly a Californian.

Plus, the outfit looks a bit bathrobish to me, a la The Big Lebowski.
I may be overanalyzing it...

"yes father, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace, hail mary full of grace....
Is that enough for you to stop touching me?
i think it's one of the oak ridge boys.here's another internet classic...

That light switch is a evil. Could it be in the bedroom of .... Satan?!
I have the hardest time with Jesus as a white guy. C'mon. Somebody once told me, "Jesus probably looked kind of like Saddamn Hussain" (sp?). and you know, there may be some truth to that. Have you ever heard anyone speak Aramaic (sp? again, it's early), too? It's kind of cool. Too many years of Catholic school left me thinking of Jesus looking, as Jackie quite well said, Californian.
Plus...a tuxedo? And a mullet? C'mon. That's anti-Christian, if you ask me. And I like Jesus. I'm not trying to disrespectful.
[1] In those days Jesus came from Nazareth, and he was white and wore a mullett. And he was preaching in the wilderness of the greater Los Angeles conurbation,[2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[4] And the same Jesus had his tuxedo made by Manolo Blahnik, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
[5] And he loved the little children, and they came unto him.
A splendid internet find, but that Jesus switch MUST be a spoof. Please tell me it's not real.
Gotta get me one of them Jesus light switches. It will go nicely with my Touched by Jesus personal massager...now with hand lotion in two new scents; frankincense and myrrh.
Amanda - shall we settle for "and he came on to them"
Maybe they all came on to each other. And it was good.

You may be more right than you know Donald. There is scant circumstantial evidence that Jesus was a swarthy, 5ft tall hunchback - which still doesn't put Jesus in the same class as Arafat-head. Close, though.
Nick: (sp?) is what people put when they're not sure of spelling. You don't need to do that, however, as your lack of spelling ability is part of your abundant charm.Everyone else: I think it's clear that I should just stay completely away from any topic that comes close to mentioning Jesus, God, faith, religion, prayer, church, etc. Because frankly I am sick and tired of it being implied that to have faith one must not use their brain.
I'd like to reiterate what Meghan said in a different thread: you'd never consider making derogatory comments about someone because of their race but it's perfectly okay to insult their religion.
(Yes, those pictures are ridiculous. I'm referring to message #18 and also to other messages in other threads where it has been implied that one would have to be either stupid or insane to believe in God.)
Mod
I hope he looked more like this:

Died young...crucifixion will do that to ya.
Mod
I'm confused about how comment 18 is different than any of the other comments in this thread.
I could philosophize something about maybe those who create this kind of stuff really have to look beyond (or even deny) the irony of it all in order to have the kind of faith they do..... Implying that one must take leave of one's senses in order to have faith.
Mod
It implies that people who have faith are in denial of something as sophisticated as irony. It implies that people of faith are simpletons.
The rest of the thread is making fun of the bad Jesus art, not of people of faith.
Ultimate relativism is nonsense Charissa, this would mean I would have to accept that the Nazi weltenschauung was perfectly valid for them, and obviously it wasn't, isn't, and never could be. Apartheid fans in the 70s and 80s could have said well darlings, this works for us! Tolerate our little ways!

But I gotta say, those paintings suck.
"But seriously... it's hard to believe people create stuff like this with no irony whatsoever." The word "irony" was also used in message 8 and perhaps some other messages in this thread.The title of this thread is "If Jesus were a Pedophile..." In one of my comments, I made reference to "come on to" someone.
The whole freaking thread seems pretty blasphemous to me.

I'm surprised there isn't some enterprising swindler out there adapting a panini-maker into an automated Virgin Mary grill.
Honestly, people.... I don't even have any words for this... "art". My best friend's sister says:
"You moron. That's not Jesus, it's Bo Brady from Days of Our Lives."
But seriously... it's hard to believe people create stuff like this with no irony whatsoever.
